Release Date: June 5, 2018

A tale as old as time: she needs a place to stay, he's a grump with a secret and an extra room... can love find a way?

Meet the Naughty Princess Club, a series from USA Today bestselling author Tara Sivec that brings readers to Fairytale Lane and the hilarity—and romance—that three women fall into once they decide to strut their stuff and bring on their own happily ever after.

Living in her overprotective dad’s basement, shy Belle lives her life through books. Being a part of the Naughty Princess Club is the first adventure she’s ever had, plus she desperately needs the money to save one of her favorite places - the local library.

But when her new friends and new business gets her kicked out of her dad’s house, Belle is rescued by the surly Vincent “Beast” Adams who invites her to be his house guest until she gets back on her feet. Despite his attitude problem and long list of rules, Belle finds herself warming to the muscled man with a penchant for growling and starts seeing a gentle side to him that wasn’t there before.

Yet there’s a room that Beast keeps locked and Belle keeps getting hints that Beast is hiding something…can a nerdy librarian tame the beast or will their romance be over before it has a chance to blossom?

5 out of 5 stars

This was a freaking delight! I am so happy. Talk about a story that had me giggling and smiling the entire time. This was it! I loved Belle and the Beast! This was a seriously entertaining read I couldn't get through fast enough.

I adored Belle and watching this sweet, shy girl with all her random facts come into her own, stand up for herself, and become a strong independent woman was awesome. I thought she had a great voice and internal dialogue. And the Beast? I'm totally in love with this guy. Every detail about him that unfolded had me loving him more and more, giving me butterflies. He was so much more than the gruff man he appeared to be. He was sweet, caring, and ridiculously swoon worthy. I was just excited while reading and filled with so much anticipation for what would come next.

Belle and the Beasts relationship was just outright fun, I loved their dynamic. His bossy ways and her standing up to him. This growing sexual tension between the two that had me on the edge of my seat. There was a wonderful build and I loved the flow and writing as everything developed. There are some ups and downs, a bit of drama, but it was a crazy awesome ride to a fantastic HEA.

Belle, Ariel, and Cindy together are a hoot, seriously. I loved their fun relationship with one another and how they're open and honest. They could be silly and loving, obnoxious and mouthy and it just made me laugh out loud at times. There were all these amazing details and fairy tale tie-ins that I thought were so clever. It helped to create some really fantastic characters.

Entertaining. Fun. Sweet. Sexy. Witty. Playful. Laugh out loud funny. I don't think I have enough adjectives to describe how wonderful this was. Honestly thought, the take away is it was pure fun. A light, entertaining read that made me laugh and had me cheering, with truly wonderful characters and a perfect HEA. It was awesome!

Tara Sivec is a new to me author this year. I started with At the Stroke of Midnight and thought, “where the heck have I been?!’ Seriously, I felt like I’d been missing out and I’m really glad I found her because it was just so entertaining to read.
